Tab Ruler Issues with CS4

Hi. I am having trouble with the tab ruler in CS4. Whenever I zoom in to the long text box I need to set tabs in, the box is 44" long, the tab ruler does not stay with the text box if zoomed in more that 100%. Even when I have the ruler 'locked' to the text box I am setting tabs in, it fails to stay with the box. I scroll the the right to see the rest of the text box but the tab ruler does not move. Am I doing anything wrong or is this something funky with InDesign? I basically need the tabs to space a bunch of UPC codes across the length of the text box. It's usless if the tab ruler does not stay with the text box - I have no way of knwing where to set the tabs. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Yea, I figured it was a separate window and playing with it for a few hours trying to figure this out. So how do you keep the tabs and tab ruler inline with the text box when you scroll to the left or right or zoom in and out? It seems to not snap to the box when zoomed in either. Very hit or miss with it even aligning to the text box. The tab ruler goes way off the page and I have to scroll just to try to get the icon to try to snap it to the text box. Works about 20% of the time, but when I scroll it's useless.
I might be able to use tables, but I won't have the control, I don't think. Basically I have either 17, 10, etc. UPC codes and text below it, to fit at different increments along a 24 or 44" long page. This will change all the time, depending on how big or small the article that the UPC represents is. So I have nested a EPS UPC code and a text box below it and pasted it into a text box. From that I change, add or subtract, them to get the amount of info I need per long text box or line. I figured it was easier to do it this way than to align the EPS and the text by itself each time a change is made, which is all the time.
Long story short - I have dozens of these files that people did in Freehand and it takes most of the day to fix or add to these files the way it is now. Each UPC code is placed/linked, and the text is by itself in a table below. So I am moving each by hand. Thought InDesign would be better. The size of these change a few times a month. Thanks.

  • Issues With CS4 Installation on Win 8?

    I purchased CS4 (Web Premium) on  disc several years ago, and it has been working fine on my  Win XP computer ever since. The Adobe software has all the current  updates, though I am using the CS4 version of Acrobat Pro (9.xx) rather  than a more recent (free) version of Reader.,
    Unfortunately,  my computer's hard drive has fried, and I just purchased a new Windows 8  machine, which will arrive shortly.  I am trying to determine:
    1. Are there any general issues with CS4 installation on Win 8 that I should know about in advance?
    2. Are there specific procedures (de-activation?) that I need to follow BEFORE attempting the installation on the new computer?
    3. Other than specific user issues, are there problems with CS4 versus Windows 8 that I would not encounter with Windows 7.
    I  enhance photos and create web sites for a living, so the CS4  installation is mission-critical. I am hoping I did not make a mistake  in ordering a Win 8 machine...
    Thanks for any and all insights.

    OK, fair enough. Maybe someone who has actually experienced this situation (CS4 --> Win 8 machine) might see this and offer some tips to avoid hassles. But I will try the install as soon as I get the new machine and post any ensuing issues/problems here.
    As for de-activation of the previous installation on the XP machine, that is now impossible, as the hard-drive is fried. Unless there is a way to de-activate an installation some other way (without actually opening the programs).  That said, I AM able to access files on the fried harddrive, so if there is a specific file that controls de-activation, I could access it on the old machine.  However, I may not be able to actually RUN said file on that machine, but can copy it to a stick and move it elsewhere. So, any thoughts on deactivation of an installation on a deceased computer?

    Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.

  • So many issues with CS4 (bugs/rants)

    I'm glad we can get trials. There are a few major issues I'm
    having.
    Viewing in Safari, when clicking back onto Dreamweaver, the
    top bar will interact with Safari's tool bar. I have to click on
    and off to get Dreamweaver to draw on top of Safari. When this
    happens, there are also white flashes where windows are blank when
    clicking once on a tab or design view, then on second click the
    window draws. So anytime I click on the tool bars the page flashes
    white (empty-void of my html) and reappears on next click. This
    happens on first start, does not happen if I relaunch DW.
    Table <td background> background input is gone from the
    proprieties palette.
    Table height does not display when selecting a table, only
    width. So you have to go into the code and manually change or
    delete the table height.
    Some image/graphic outer edge colors do not match the defined
    html color on the page in Dreamweaver but do in Live View and
    Safari.
    Selecting an image and linking it, automatically populates
    without a border="0" resulting in an unwanted border color. It
    should be "0" by default like version 8.
    The color picker is not calibrated correctly. Using the
    picker on a table cell with the bg color of #990000 gives me a
    reading of #A31B12. And then getting a reading on the table cell
    with #A31B12 the color picker reads #AC3022. So it progressively
    gets lighter, while picking colors from the actual html, if doing
    multiple cells. So not sure how the color pickers needs to be
    calibrated to read the hex value because it's not currently doing
    that.
    I can't drag a file to the tab bar and be allowed to open it.
    Not sure why that's not allowed?
    Now some of these might be the new way DW codes, some might
    be fixable with settings, but the color picker and random flashing
    and viewing issues with Safari, linked images with no border seem
    like actual bugs to me.

    > Nope, it's not there. BG color is in the middle on my
    CSS tab under

    a table cell.
    Yeah - it's there. But I was mistaken - it's in both the HTML
    and the CSS
    'tab' of the EXPANDED Property inspector - you have to click
    on the little
    almost invisible white triangle on the lower right-hand
    corner of the
    inspector to see the expanded section.

    Nope. That would produce invalid HTML.

    dreamweaver.
    If you are not willing to learn some HTML and CSS, as well as
    best
    practices, then you shouldn't be using DW.

  • Multi-monitor issue with CS4?

    Hi; I'm running a Mac with the following specs:
    3 x 30" ACD
    MacPro 2,8 Ghz Quad
    2x ATI Radon 2600 XT graphics cards (2 screens attached to 1 card; 1 screen to the other card)
    I've encountered after the switch from CS3 to CS4 the following issue:
    Whenever I try to use the new Bridge Review function using one of the the screens sharing one graphics card I just get a grey screen.
    If I move the bridge window to the solely attached screen it works.
    Is that an issue of CS4 or is just the throughput of the second graCard providing 2 monitors not sufficient.
    Thanks t.

    T,
    There are known issues with using more than one graphics card which Apple has not truly resolved.  You may want to browse some of the threads in the Adobe Photoshop Macintosh forum.
    In addition, you should know that Photoshop and Bridge cannot really take advantage of more than one graphic card.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1540485#1540485
    This bit of information in relation to GPU and OpenGL features and
    limitations in Photoshop CS4 had totally escaped me until now. Though
    it doesn't affect my setup, it might be of interest to others who may
    have missed it too.
    Excerpt from
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404898
    Q. Does Photoshop take advantage of dual-GPU display cards?
    A. Not at this time.
    Q. Why can't Photoshop take advantage of more than one display card?
    A. When you move an image window between two monitors that are
    each on a separate display card, the GPU attached to the second monitor
    does not have access to the data necessary to accelerate drawing. The
    SLI and Crossfire technologies that use more than one GPU to speed up
    full-screen games will not work with Photoshop, because their use is
    limited by design to accelerate only full-screen games.

  • Contribute 6.5 can not ftp after years of no issues with CS4 and CS5

    The problem
    Contribute 6.5 can not connect via ftp using settings that formerly worked (and still do) in CS4 and CS5.
    How we ended up here
    I am the administrator website where
    Our content editors have been using Contribute CS 4 and Contribute CS 5 without issue, 6+ years.
    We are trying to upgrade to CS 6.5 to better support HTML5 markup now used within the site.
    When attempting to configure a website connection in 6.5, Contribute alerts:
    "Contribute cannot find the website files on the server. Please contact the website's administrator for assistance."
    After closing the dialog box the failed connection is removed from contributes website connection list.
    We have a shared hosting account and utilize ftp to publish changes.
    Server is Win2008 with IIS 7.5
    Again it's shared hosting, so read/write ftp are scoped to our account's directory.
    We attempted this on serveral pcs including on a PC with a fresh install of Windows 7.
    We can still connect successfully via ftp with CS4, CS5, dreamweaver, and Filezilla.
    Which is why I believe this to be a Contribute 6.5 issue.
    I've attempted the following troubleshooting articles:
    Use network I/O logging to log operations, identify problems
    I compared the I/O logging for both CS5 and CS 6.5 which both appear to log the same diagnostic steps.
    Contribute FTP Server Checker (quite dated)
    All successes reported. No failures.
    Troubleshooting a Connection CS4 (linked from with CS 6.5's help UI)
    As indicated above, alternate FTP clients have no issue.
    This appears to be similar issue to the following posts:
    5301620 - HELP - FTP Connection Error with Contribute 6.5
    5907180 - Contribute 6.5 can no longer connect to sites ...
    Unfortunately, there has been no solutions posted on either of these threads.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I can PM the network I/O log details if there is adobe staff who can get them in the right hands.
    (Again the logs only show successes.)

    @Zaldomoh
    Have you found a solution or been given assistance from Adobe to resolve this issue? I'm having the same problem (CS 6.5 ftp'ing to a shared hosting enviroment). Details of our situation can be found on thread 1384686

  • Dynamic Tabs Shell : issue with taskflows using pages

    Hi,
    We use the Dynamic tabs shell page template in our application.
    It works fine when used with taskflows with page fragments.

    Is this a known issue or constaint with Dynamic Tabs Shell page template?

    Actually I don't think the answer is as clear cut as the dynamic tab shell template (aka. UI Shell) doesn't support task flow with pages, as, we have an application that uses it that calls out to a BTF using pages and it works fine. The catch is that BTF itself doesn't use the UI Shell. So it really depends what you mean.
    Can you be more specific what you're attempting to achieve? Are you trying in one page that uses the UI Shell, to embed a BTF in a region where the BTF uses pages rather than page fragments? Or, do you simple want lots of pages in your overall applications unbounded task flow to include the UI Shell template? As Alex has asked, we don't really have information of what you're trying to put in what at this stage.
    For the record, the better forum to ask such questions about the dynamic tab shell template is the ADF UI Patterns & Best Practices OTN forum:

  • Grab Tool Issue with CS4 crimping Workflow, Solution?

    Hi, I've been a consistent Photoshop user for the past 10 years and have upgraded to CS4 about 9 months ago.
    I have an issue where I can't (spacebar-> grab tool) to move my image around without zooming in first.  If the side of the image is not being clipped by the window your working in the grab tool will not work.  I haven't found a way to turn this off.
    I figured I would get used to this but I'm still running into it every day. Instead I've noticed myself just automatically pulling the window off the top bar and grabbing the edge to shrink it so I can actually move myself around.
    I see no possible reason why they changed the functionality of the grab tool...unless they assume that every photoshop user has two monitors, one for pallettes and one for the working image?  Even then why would they have collapsible pallettes?
    It is THE most frustrating things I've ever experienced since I've used photoshop.
    Is there a setting or option that I'm missing?

    Thanks Mylenium, I hope your not right!  But you probably are...  I've asked everyone at work what they do about it and most don't use spacebar as a shortcut so it hasn't been much of an issue for them, though they do all admit they grab windows off the top bar right away and move pallettes/windows with their mouse when needed, but that's just a supream waste of time and effort when you can just quickly spacebar grab and throw.  Plus I like keeping my pallettes in the same places so I know where to look when working.
    My other friend whos employed elsewhere has the same problem as me and actually went back to CS3 because he couldn't use his spacebar shortcut the same way. 

  • Tab order issues with UI elements in Web Dynpro

    Hi Folks:
    We recently upgraded to NW 2004s and now i am running NWDS v 7.0.
    I have noticed many behavioral changes since the upgrade.  One of the more problematic and annoying issue is the tab order of the UI elements.  In the prior version, the label element never had the control while tabbing.  But now the Label also is part of the tab order.   There is no property ( that i have been able to figure out) that stands out to fix  this issue.
    I am i missing something or doing something wrong.  Greatly appreciate any input.
    Thanks & regards
    Renchy Thomas

    I figured it out.   You have to bind the label to the UI element it is a label for - using the labelFor property of the Label element.
    Duh!!  i should have thought of it before but it is true that the older version was not enforcing this rule.

  • Pentax K-X issues with CS4 (MJPEG codec)

    Just got my Pentax K-X and I'm really liking the footage it's able to produce.
    I haven't found a great workflow, though, for using it with PPro CS4.  If I import the .avi files as-is, they show up in Premiere with seemingly no issues.  When I try to play them back, though, only a couple of frames show up (it stays on one frame even though the audio keeps going, and if I scrub I get a 2nd frame but nothing else).
    I installed the MainConcept Mpeg HD 4 trial as suggested by several forums on a Google search, but now whenever I import the video all I see is black.
    The best workaround I've found so far is to open the original .avi with Quicktime Pro and re-save it as a .mov - this takes a couple minutes per clip, which is much better than capturing a HDV tape, but I'd really like to just drag-and-drop these things and start editing.
    Any advice from K-X users or even users of the K7 / D90 / etc.?
    Also, what's the best way to setup my sequences for this type of video?
    Thanks!

    You dont want the MainConcept Mpeg HD 4 but the Mainconcept Motion Jpeg plugin.
    http://www.mainconcept.com/site/prosumer-products-4/motion-jpeg-codec-785/information-797. html

  • CS5 update date issue with CS4 Student Licensing version

    Before downloading the Flash Pro CS5 update, from Adobe's web-site, I called Adobe and asked this question, " Will the Flash Pro CS5 upgrade work with my Student Licensing version?"  The answer I received (after being put on hold), was "Yes, the CS5 upgrade will work with my version of CS4."
    However...after paying for and downloading the Flash Pro CS5, I am finding that it is not working. The serial number asked for, from my version of CS4, comes up as being not valid.
    Any suggestions as to resolving this issue would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    There are no restrictions against you using your student-licensed version of CS4 (either any of the suites or individual programs) for commercial work other than that you may not sell or otherwise transfer your license to anyone else.

  • Free Transform issue with CS4

    So as I've been using CS4 of Photoshop, when I select something with the Lasso tool and use Free Transform to move it around, it automatically creates a copy of whatever I selected to move while the original thing is still in place. This happens randomly. Sometimes it does; sometimes it doesn't. Da hell, bro?

    Lasso - Right Click - Free Transform
    It didn't do it this time. I swear it's random

  • Tab focus issue with 2 popups open

    Hi!
    I've just got a nasty problem with 2 popups and a tab focus.
    First poup automatically opens second popup and if you press TAB
    key focus goes to the first popup window - underneath the top one.
    As a matter of fact - if you open the second popup by
    clicking on the button in the first window - no problem. It happens
    only if the first window opens second via AS.
    I've found on the internet the following
    article:
    But my joy was premature - this piece code:
    quote:
    SystemManager.activate( popup );
    is simply uncompilable. I tried other methods, like:
    this.systemManager.activate(this);
    without any luck.
    Does anybody know the solution to this problem?
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    Dmitri.

    Manfred,
    Thanks for your reply. I tried requestFocus() and it gives the same results. Also Sun's 1.4.0 API (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/) mentions the following with respect to the requestFocus() method in the JComponent class:
    Because the focus behavior of this method is platform-dependent, developers are strongly encouraged to use requestFocusInWindow when possible.
    That is why I used requestFocusInWindow.
    S.L.

  • Plugin issue with CS4 - please help

    I'm trying to open a InDesign CS4 file and I get a "Cannot open file, please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest version or upgrade to the latest version of InDesign."
